ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit

[zanate]

My fantasy is to see students use the pedestrain bridge over University avenue rather than amble into traffic whenever it suits them.

Not just students crossing there, it's a major trail crossing with pedestrian activated lights. That bridge, as others have mentioned, is pointless-- doubly so for trail users and cyclists. The only way you'll stop people using at-grade crossing here is by putting up a fence.

I'm not seeing the big deal for traffic stopping here. It's not like there aren't a billion other traffic lights (and a pedestrian crossing) already on University.
